You need to be like an octopus lol either that or pat each quickly!
Piper and Finnie both want to be first, but Finnie can be quite forceful and tries to push Piper out of the way...his herding instinct is strong! Piper then gets mad and starts running circles barking :lol:!

quick pets for everyone - then they are more willing to take turns for longer attention.
if Destin had his way, he'd be first for everything and get the most of everything. Dixie gets jealous of him and tries to do some of the stuff that he gets away with. The big boys know that their turn will come and they're more patient, especially Cran.
 
Actually, my boys are very good at taking turns to be loved on. Baron as the biggest has a tendency to push Beau and Liam out of the way. He knows I don't like that and I will tell him to stop being so pushy... he knows by my voice that I am displeased with him and then he backs off. Yesterday I came out of the shower to find them all grouped together... Go figure... they have the whole kitchen and family room to hang out in. Yet, they still are bunched up together.

You can see Liam's handwork on the corner of the chair! Poor guy... we are trying to resolve the allergy on his feet. He had to be shaved for a biopsy.

So sweet! My dogs have never cuddled with each other. One dog would lay on one side of the couch and the other dog on the other side. That's as close they would get :lol:.
 
Poor Baron probably took his spot first and then the other two crowded in beside him lol.
Poor Liam! Have you considered changing his diet? Maybe a dehydrated raw? My last dog had tons of allergies...I wish I knew then what I know now!

Yep, I bet that’s what happened!

I don’t believe it is a food allergy at all! My female sheltie had the exact same problem the s time me of year and I believe it environmental! My vet at the time prescribed an anti fungal powder the helped. My current vet has it on order but unfortunately it is back ordered
 
Angus is a attention hound but Spitfire rules. So if Spitfire wants attention he just comes in and pushes Angus aside for the time he wants. Angus is fine though as he will either wait or take it as a reason to get Spitfire to play.

Angus sounds like my Finnie...me first...me first! I'll go out and take Finnie with me and when we get home and Piper is excited to see me Finnie starts jumping on me like he hadn't seen me for hours:ROFLMAO:!
He's just trying to kee Piper away from me lol.
 
Angus has to have a morning belly rub before food. Then is in my lap for ear rubs then turns and gets butt rubs every night at least once. More often two or three times. When it cools this fall he will slow down as they will wrestle more during the day and be tired.
